When you first look at the iPhone 13, it does not appear to be very new. When you begin to utilize this flagship, you start to realize that it offers far more than a smaller notch.
A brighter display is found on the new iPhone than on its predecessor. The battery life is also longer. And Apple has enhanced an already excellent camera with new sensors and computational photography capabilities that make the device feel like a professional (even on a non-Pro version).
Included in this package is the Cinematic mode, which automatically shifts focus to add depth of field to your videos, as well as the Photographic Styles, which are used to change the appearance of your images.
Design and colors
The iPhone 13 features two notable design changes. In the rear, the cameras have been arranged diagonally rather than vertically. In addition, the notch has been reduced in size by 20% while maintaining the same quality TrueDepth camera and Face ID you have come to expect since the iPhone X introduced this feature four years ago.
Display
While it does not feature the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate of the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 still features a stunning OLED display. In addition to being 28% brighter than last year's iPhone 12, the new Super Retina XDR display is also rated at 800 nits, as opposed to 600 nits on the previous year's device.
Cameras
In addition to a new diagonal arrangement of the lenses, there is much more to the iPhone 13 cameras. With the more significant camera with 1.7μm pixels, the wide camera collects 47% more light than the iPhone 12. As another plus, the new ultrawide camera is capable of capturing four times more scenes, and the unique sensor provides better low-light performance along with less noise.
Video
While shooting videos, the iPhone 13 is one of the rare smartphones that will make you feel like a director. One of the reasons is the new Cinematic mode. As your footage is viewed, the depth of field effect automatically changes the focus to various subjects based on what's happening in the frame, such as a person turning their head to converse with another individual. It is virtually effortless, and it works as if by magic.
